Temperature is the measure of the average kinetic energy of the molecules in a substance.
Temperature and heat are both ways of measuring this energy, but they do not mean the same thing. A substance's temperature is the average kinetic energy of the substance's molecules. By contrast, a substance's heat is the total amount of energy contained in the substance.
